Résumé

RÉSUMÉ Objectif Cette étude qualitative a examiné les expériences de mères de personnes autistes et la manière dont les habitudes de sommeil de la personne autiste influençaient le sommeil et les activités quotidiennes de la mère. Contexte Des recherches antérieures ont montré que les problèmes de sommeil sont fréquents dans la population autiste. Lorsque les enfants ont des problèmes de sommeil, le sommeil des parents est souvent interrompu, ce qui affecte de multiples domaines du fonctionnement. Méthode Nous avons réalisé une analyse thématique réflexive de données d’entretiens recueillies auprès de 11 mères de personnes autistes présentant des problèmes de sommeil aux États-Unis. Résultats Quatre thèmes ont été identifiés : ce n’est jamais prévisible, vous êtes toujours en alerte, je ne peux plus dormir comme ça, et le sommeil est l’ingrédient secret. Ces thèmes montrent collectivement la nature interconnectée des perturbations du sommeil vécues par les enfants autistes et du sommeil des mères. Conclusion Guidés par la théorie des systèmes familiaux, les problèmes de sommeil chez les personnes autistes affectent la quantité et la qualité du sommeil, ainsi que la santé mentale, de leurs mères. La privation chronique de sommeil qui en résulte entraîne des difficultés à participer aux activités quotidiennes et aux relations sociales. Implications Nos résultats révèlent que lorsque les enfants autistes connaissent des problèmes de sommeil, l’unité familiale est affectée. Les prestataires de services doivent être conscients des effets étendus que la privation de sommeil peut avoir sur l’engagement familial et l’apprentissage.

ABSTRACT Objective This qualitative study examined the experiences of mothers of autistic individuals and how the autistic individual's sleep patterns influenced the mother's sleep and daily activities. Background Previous research has shown that sleep problems are common among the autistic population. When offspring have sleep issues, parental sleep is often interrupted, impacting multiple areas of functioning. Method We conducted a reflexive thematic analysis on interview data collected from 11 mothers of autistic individuals with sleep problems in the United States. Results Four themes were identified: it's never predictable, you're always on alert, I cannot sleep like this anymore, and sleep is the secret ingredient. These themes collectively show the interconnected nature between sleep disturbances experienced by autistic offspring and mother's sleep. Conclusion Guided by the family systems theory, sleep problems in autistic individuals affect the quantity, quality, and mental health of their mothers. The resulting chronic sleep deprivation causes difficulties engaging in everyday activities and social relationships. Implications Our findings reveal that when autistic offspring experience sleep problems, the family unit is affected. Service providers must be aware of the widespread effects sleep deprivation may have on family engagement and learning.
